LCM500NP SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The LCM500NP is comprised of a 5" Thin Film Transistor (TFT) Liquid Crystal Display ( LCD)

monitor. The monitor display is a widescreen display (16:9 Aspect Ratio ) that allows the user

to select from two video sources (Not Supplied). The housing has a built-in location for the

installation of an optional infrared audio transmitter ( Audiovox IRT 456, IRT 457) for use with

optional two channel wireless headphones. The monitors will display all functions with the

comprehensive On Screen Display (OSD).

OPTIONAL AUDIO CONNECTION

Required Materials:

1. IRT456 (CHA) Infrared Transmitter (1pc)

2. IRT457 (CHAB) Infrared Transmitter Remote (1pc)

3. WHS200 Two Channel Infrared Headphones

Before installing the IRT boards gently bend the three IR LEDs closest to the center of the

vehicle toward the center of the vehicle.

IRT 456 CH A BEFORE

IRT 457 CH B BEFORE

IRT 457 CH B AFTER

IRT 456 CH A AFTER

Insert the IRT boards into their respective compartments in the monitor housing and insert the plug

into the IRT board. When the user switches the video source utilizing the ON/OFF/MODE switch,

the A/B switch on the WHS200 headphones must also be switched to select the desired audio

source.

10)Locate the following: an accessory power source (+12VDC present when the ignition key is in the

accessory and run positions). 0VDC should be present, when the ignition key is in the OFF position.

A constant power source (+12VDC present at all times). Generally, these wires can be found at the

ignition switch or fusebox. (NOTE: Ensure that the power leads are fused at the source. Failure to do

so may result in vehicle wiring damage.) Ground the black wire to a chassis ground close to the

mounting location of AV sources.

11) The mounting method, and the location will vary from vehicle to vehicle, so this manual will only focus

for the installation of the LCM500NP Monitor in the supplied configuration.

12)The best location for the LCM500NP System components are:

a) Monitor : Headrest

b) Interconnection Box: Under either seat where monitors are located.

VEHICLE PREPARATION:

1) Decide on the system configuration and the options that will be installed (i.e.what components,

VCP, DVD, TV Tuner, Video Game, Monitor, FM Modulator, etc.).

2) Read the manuals and get familiar with the electrical requirements and connections.

3) Decide on the mounting locations and methods of mounting the products.

4) Prepare the vehicle by removing any interior trim necessary to gain access to the vehicle's wiring as

well as all areas where interconnecting wire harnesses will be located. If any access holes need to

be cut into the vehicle, headrests, or other trim components, this should be performed now. (Refer to

the Installation Procedure).

5) Run the wiring harnesses throughout the vehicle as necessary. (Refer to the Wiring Diagram on

page 7, as well as the wiring instructions for the individual components and accessory options being

installed). Be sure, that all the wiring is protected from sharp edges and is routed in such a manner

that it will not be pinched, when it is fully installed. Be sure to leave enough slack in the wiring at each

component to allow sufficient working room.

6) Remove all the A/V system components from their packaging and then place them in the vehicle at

their respective locations.

7) Connect all the components together (electrically) and verify the proper operation of all the system

functions. NOTE: This is best done BEFORE the components are permanently mounted.

8) After verifying the proper operation of the system, proceed to mount each component.

9) When all the components are mounted, recheck the function of the entire system to be sure it is

functioning correctly. Make sure that no wiring was pinched, or connected improperly during the final

installation.

Tools and Materials Required:

• Utility knife or box cutter with sharp blade

• Sharpie™ marker or similar

• Tie Wraps

Remove the headrest from the vehicle for

easiest installation.

Lay headrest on a flat surface

Center trim collar on headrest as shown.

NOTE: Depending on the angle of the

headrest the trim ring and housing may be

mounted upside down.

Using a Sharpie™ marker or similar marking

pen, mark headrest material along the

interior of the trim collar.

Remove the trim collar and mark an “X” from

corner to corner as shown

-4-

Using your fingers, tear the foam out of the

headrest leaving a recess where the shell

will be inserted.

At this point you will need to install the

harness up through the area into the recess.

It may be helpful to follow one of the posts

and tie wrap it to the post for restraint.

Using the utility knife, cut the headrest material along

the “X” lines. Do not cut the material along the other

lines at this time.

This will leave you with an “X” cut as shown.

Pull the flaps up and cut the foam beneath the

material to the proper depth. Cut all four sides of

the foam.

-5-

Lay the flaps of headrest material down into the

recess and insert the clamshell into the recess.

Check for fit. If it does not fit properly, you may

need to remove some more foam.

NOTE: The clamshell will need to be secured

to the headrest, either by using tie straps,

screws, ect..

If used, remove the clamshell and insert the IR

transmitter and plug into the IR transmitter

board. Reinsert the clamshell into the recess

and secure using tie wraps or screws.

Plug the remaining connector into the monitor.

Turn the monitor around and insert it into the

clamshell housing. Snap into place.

Connect the wiring to the video system and

test.

The supplied Release Key is for removing monitor from housing. Refer to the drawing below.

MONITOR SURFACE MOUNTING:

1. Slide the monitor onto the mount S2 and tighten using the fastener.

2. Firmly attach surface mount to a flat surface and adjust the viewing angle of the monitor by

loosening the fastener on the side. Tilt the monitor for a good viewing angle and retighten the

fastener.
